Laoka films are always so good. Looking forward to this.

How do you do masked cards where you can control the regular charge amount? Is that a particular bank’s feature or?

Olympics are all that I can think of

When one side plays to win, and one side plays to pretend to be different.

“X company has annoucned new safeguards to _______ (common sense concerns anyone not trying to speedrun Demolition Man would have forseen).”

Do they not realize this makes them confirmed to be so much worse than the average person thinks and exactly what everyone who hates them despises? They don’t give a fuck about the rights of anyone they are violating and never have from the start which is why any of this could happen to begin with.

Fuck Flock.

So rather than stay with the car-centric, dangerous prior state or maintain the amazing new, much safer no-vehicle paradigm, they’re opting to have it go back and forth which is paradoxically much more dangerous than just having cars all the time.

Locals and regulars may have begun to get used to no cars and inconsistent application of laws and norms leaves the pedestrians of course the most vulnerable when suddenly there are cars flying down the street that hasn’t had them for a while.

The stupidest fucking decision possible.

Just fucking tell a few business owners “no” for once. Fuuuuuck this cunt-ry

I was just there a few months ago and missed this–one thing you aren’t really prepared for is how large the site is. It’s not a village, it was a proper city. I was there for 3-4 hours and didn’t even get to the massive arena/Colosseum they had on site. Definitely crazy how well preserved everything was, down to paint on tiles and frescoes.

That batman and Gargoyles were some of my fav from the decade

Sounds like a big painting brush toward profit and Microsoft had the usual shit communication and execution.

More to the point though, this is the fundamental lesson many people who say they went to business school or are IT experts are apparently now learning; if it’s not free and open source you can’t depend on it staying that way and the last 10 years has been a sprint to enshittify. Why someone in IT would base their entire storage and archive practice on the assumption a paid service or grant will remain free through grants, when there is no money to go around to pivot the org is naive at best. I see these as the same type who will rail against inequality, fascism, etc. and then be on Twitter and Facebook. The nobler aspects of man cannot coexist alongside boundless greed and fascism. Move early or be prepared to “be shocked” when structural inevitability comes.

Libre Office and countless other options are out there, just waiting to be adopted. The cells have been made very comfortable by our jailers, but the keys are right there if you want freedom.

This is in Pompeii, correct, or how did you date it?

Wait a minute, you mean people will just say things for money they don’t believe?

I mean SK has kept it going at different levels but the US being involved…it’s been a few decades at least since anything substantive.

So ok; Trump comes out against the annual US/Korea military joint exercises today and says Kim Jong Un is such a. Good guy. Totally left field. Now this.

So are they going to soft NK and try to break it away from China/Russia? I mean they had 70 years to do it, funny now that they’re desperate about China and Russia they try diplomacy…

Someone has to buy bottles at the club to subsidize the rest of us, this is that person.

How much could a bookstore cost Michael, $10?

I expect an uproar from the conservative right who is all about protecting children I’m told. Any minute now.

Who can afford a cat and dust? Privilege rears it’s ugly head.

It’s some poor slob with $15k on Nvidia stock praying they get rich without any skill for their shilling.

Ore what

Biden also was the one who made loan non-forgiveness his signature piece of legislation in the 2000s. Maybe realized the folly of his ways but his offset was a drop in the fucking ocean.
